Kanazawa Chaya district as an authentic, there are not. In the old town are scattered shops primly. Original temple I walk home. We do not know where to move while watching the map usually is ventured without looking at the map, where things are at. Though there was something you really want then out to explore, so not surprising discovery was so much fun. Incidentally that the discovery is shopping at the shop and liquor store and looked in the corner of the town of Kofuku-ji Temple five-story pagoda.View original -
古い町屋がたくさん立ち並んでいて歩いていて楽しかったです。商店街もたくさんあって商店街の方にいくとちょっとガチャガチャしてしまうのですが。道がまっすぐではなくてあちこち曲がりくねっているので時間があるときに散策するのがよいと思いました。 more »
Walking and found a lot of old townhouses, is fun. But end up shopping there and goes to the Mall I Gacha Gacha. Because the road is not straight but winds around to explore when you have time and thought.View original
